Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients do I need to start making wine?
At minimum, you’ll need wine yeast, yeast nutrient, acid blend, and a stabilizer like Potassium Sorbate. For best results, add fining agents like Super Kleer for clarity.
What does Potassium Sorbate do?
It prevents yeast from fermenting residual sugars after fermentation, helping you safely backsweeten your wine.
How do I clear my wine naturally?
Use Super Kleer or Pectic Enzyme to clarify your wine and enhance visual appeal.
What kind of oak should I use?
Use American Oak for bold, vanilla character or French Oak for a smooth, elegant finish.
Can I use these ingredients for fruit wine?
Yes! These same nutrients, acids, and yeasts work perfectly for fruit, berry, and country wines.
